THE STATE OF TRADE

NEW YORK, June 10.-R. G. Dun d
Co. g weekly review of trade says: But
for labor contests and excessive speculation
the outlook would be entirety satisfactory,
crop prospects and the financial situation
have improved during the past week. But
the effect of important strikes is felt more
seriously every week. How great Is the
disturbance to trade and production which
may result from a single strike, is fOrcibly
illustrated by the returns from iron fur
naees, the Iron Age making the weekly
output to June LIST about 81, $50 tons, OF
twenty-seven per cent. less than May ist,
while Pittsburg statistics forwarded
by our correspondent make the de-
crease 3O,65O tons. Either statement
represents remarkable decline in the out
put, ranging from 5000, 900 to $3.50, 900 in
value of the weekly production, and to this
must be added the decrease in many I'M
portant branches of manufacturing which
depend for material upon furnaces now
idle. In spite of the great drain in produc-
ton prices of iron have been weaker during
the past week, heavy sales of Southern
iron having been made in eastern markets.
The stove business revives, the lockout OF
moulders having terminated, but
THE NAIL MARKET IS DEMoRALIZED
by overproduction. The demand for bar
iron is better, but prices are depressed by
western competition, and Offering of for
eign rails at low fgues checks the demand
near seaports.
Wheat speculation seems weaker, though
prices after rising to nearly $1.O0 for No.
red, have not quite declined to last week
level.
Money is reported in good supply at all
points. Collections everywhere are good
or tair, with improvement in some local.
ties. Southern reports show natural dull
ness in trade, but confidence in an early
and prosperous fall business. From North
western points great activity everywhere
is reported, with especial mention of the
stimulating influence of rapid railway
building.
The stock market has shown weakness,
but not in the appearance Of general liqui-
dation aud reported gains in railroad earn
ings, averaging over Is per May thus far,
sustain confidence of holders. Business

Middle States failures are exceptionally

Firms on the New York Exchange Com
PEELED To suspend.
New YORK, June 13.-The excitement
in the coffee market, which has attended
the decline in coffee, reached its highest to-
day, and brokers acting for big operators
became panic stricken and rushed to sell
without regard to price. The bulls
blame the Gruner-CrOSsman Syndi-
cate for starting the decline,
which eliminated in tO-day's panic.
but the bear syndicate strained every nerve
to check the fall, without success. IN
fact the syndicate brokers were the only
buyers at the opening, which was at Ia
cents q pound, over cent below Satur-
days close, and although rally was
caused by the bears supporting orders,
the rumOrs of trouble and the con-
tinued selling, caused them to stop
buying and Join the bulls
in unloading the stuff they had taken
early. All through the forenoon selling
was coupled with the widest scenes ever
witnessed in the exchange, and in all
offices there were knots OF brokers gather
ed, dicuSsing the prospects OF re-
covery. IN the afternoon there was
some hope of rally, but heavy
selling continued, and soon prices
fell off in heavy fluctuations until 1t
reached at Is cents pound. This decline
was accompanied BY notice of the suSpen-
sion of three frms-ATnOld x Co, Norton,
Weyland & Beyan, and Mackay & Small.
After the announcement of these failures,
an organized effort was made by
prominent houses - Akey, O'DOnahue,
Gruner and CrOSsman to sustain
the market and they succeeded
in causing q rally of about l cent all
around. The failure of u. G.. Arnold x
Co, attracted the most attention, as they
are the most prominent house IN the trade,
but it was generally anticipated. The
senior memheI OF the firm was caught m
1882 by q collapse of one Oi the largest
deals ever attempted in coffee and was
compelled to suspend for over million
dollars. lie started in business again,
however, and WAS successful IN all his
ventures He is credited with being the
founder of the Coffee Exchange, and wits
at one time its President hut on August
LIST last he formed a partnership with
his son, and since then they have
done a strictly commission bust
ness. He ascribeS the failure TO
the fact that his customers were so far
away that il was impossible to reach them
in time to obtain sufficient margin to meet
the decline. He could make no statement
OF his liabilities and he could not say any
thing about the chance of resuming.

The Latest Work Of the synod-The Con-
ventIon Adjourns To-day.
OMAHA, NEB., June II in the conven-
tion of the General Lutheran Synod to
day, J. A. Clutz, s. B. Barnitz and Fl. l..
Baugher were appointed o committee To
abridge the Book Of Worship TO eighty
pages. The report Of the committee on the
letter of the bishops of the Protestant Epis
copal Church on Christian unity was con-
sidered. This report was prepared in a
very short time, as the letter was not
placed in the hands OF
the President of the Synod
until late in its session. The following
abstract of the report was prepared by the
author. The report hailed this friendly
communication Of communion so closely
related in its articles Of doctrines and its
forms of worship to the church represented
by this body. II also expressed deep
sense of evils which mark the divisions
of the Christian church and a readiness
to enter into brotherly conference with
other bodies for the removal of these evils,
but held that the restoration Of organic
unity at the present period is neither de-
sirable or practicable, a. aE
The report was adopted.
A committee Of three clergymen and
three laymen was appointed to hold further
conference with the committee Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church touching the
vital question of mutual recognition and
cooperation, and this committee was in
structed to maintain the position that trne
Christian unity must arise out Of q
common faith and to offer as
as sufficient basis for this and the Augs-
burg confession, the historic basis Of Prot
estantism and by common consent the
most catholic expression Of the common
faith. The next convention will convene
on the Wednesday after Whit Sunday in
1889. The Synod meets on Monday next
for the last time.
